CA Lawmakers Introduce Bill to Require Gun Owners to Get Liability Insurance
From Fox News, Democratic lawmakers proposed legislation Tuesday that would require California gun owners to buy liability insurance to cover damages or injuries caused by their weapons.
“I was moved, like many others, being the father of two young children, by the Sandy Hook incident and looking for constructive ways to manage gun violence here in California as well as the rest of the country,” said Assemblyman Philip Ting of San Francisco, who introduced AB231 along with Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez of Los Angeles. “There’s basically a cost that is born by the taxpayers when accidents occur. … I don’t think that taxpayers should be footing those bills.”
The bill would require anyone purchasing a weapon to present proof of insurance as part of California’s already lengthy gun buying process.
Similar bills have been introduced in Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and New York.
Sounds like more violations of “Shall not be infringed” to us.

Not saying I agree with it, just a suggestion.
Your right the (((NRA))) is the best answer..But people got to take the time to get involved and not just sit and bitch and complain.
You must make your voice clear.. Like now.

It’s as easy as a click away. Most all my Gov. reps have responded from the petitions I signed from the site above ( in a positive manner ) and that’s a good thing, And at this point it’s all we can do… but all of us as responsible gun owners must do it. Or reap the whirl wind of insanity and tyranny
I couldn’t agree more SSG.D well said my friend!!
SSG.D, you have it so Right! We must do something instead of just bitching and whining. Thanks for the Link!!
I would like to know how they are going to get all the gangs and criminals to pay there share of the insurance? Still doesn’t do a damn thing against criminals, only law abiding citizens… Infringement!
Agreed!!
Yeah I can just see the mile long line of criminals getting the insurance on there guns. cause we all know they dot there I’s and cross there T’s when it comes to packing a gun around.. California law makers live in a dream world there uneducated morons..
They just found another way to get kick-backs from the insurance industry.
I give up the government wins. After watching this unfold, getting mad, discouraged, feeling betrayed, and many other emotions I have decided to let them win this battle if they can. If they choose to make me an outlaw then I vow to be a good one, I will not pay taxes, I will take what I want when I want it, I will get on every government entitlement program I can. In short I will be everything they want to make me. I hope they realize what they are asking me to be, because I will give them what they are asking for and not what they want SAVE one thing my guns because what self respecting outlaw would be with out a gun. The plus side will be that with no job, and free money I will have the time to “acquire” all of the ammo and guns I will need to support this lifestyle change. Also there will be no annoying forms to fill out when I “acquire” said weapons. Also since the will be acquisitions and not transfers the loopholes will not apply to me. Just remember this is what you are asking for I am just accommodating you.
Are felons going to be required to buy thug insurance?
Leave it up to an unamerican asshole to come up with such bs
Tax payers footing the bill? Come on now… We foot the bill for all the damn illegal immigrants in this country so why don’t you do something about that.?
Given that you have to have public liability insurance to do just about anything these days, it seems pretty logical that you would have it to own a deadly weapon…
A rock is a deadly weapon, so is tap water for that matter.
Please name another right protected in the constitution that requires the purchase of insurance to exercise. Particularly one that specifically says “shall not be infringed” in the right.
How about liability insurance for the first amendment?
This is absolutely the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Some of this stuff the politicians are coming up with is crazy. Where are they getting these ideas
